My cousin lives in Diphu, Karbi Anglong. They felt both tremors today. Said it was mild but still scary. Government should conduct awareness programs about earthquake safety in these areas.

Interesting to see the pattern - multiple earthquakes across different northern states this week. Is there some geological activity happening? Scientists should study this cluster.

Thank God it's only magnitude 3.2. Assam has experienced much bigger earthquakes in the past. Still, authorities should monitor this closely. Safety first!

While I appreciate the prompt reporting by NCS, I wish they would explain what these multiple small quakes mean in simpler terms for common people. Are they foreshocks? Should we be concerned?

The precision of modern seismology is impressive - exact coordinates, depth, time. Great work by Indian scientists in monitoring these activities across the country.
